THE PEABODY LETTER.

The publication few days since OF the
fac-simile of President Peabody'S letter IL
still the subject of much comment
1t used to be considered question of pro-
priety to say kind word of the result of o
treatment other than that prescribed by a
regular practitioner; and the time was when
a man using an advertised remedy did SO
more or less surreptitiously. However, this
has happily. given away to broader and
more liberal view of things, typiied in Mr..
Peabody's frank expression that he knows
of no valid reason why commentator
should not be equally as hearty in one in
stance as in the other.
Certainly this would appear fair in the facs
of the facts. He was assured that the in
Jury would confne him to the house for
three weeks or more yet in three days use
of the Oil he was out and about his duties
as if nothing had happened. Surely REM
edy that will SO practically demonstrate its
efficacy and that has stood foremost as has
st. Jacobs Oil, upward of ten years as unap-
proachable for the eradication of pain, is
Justly entitled to rank as standard.
That many physicians prescribe ii is as true
as that many physicians use it, and it is only
those of the very old school who, true TO
ancient doctrines, can see no good in it, be-
cause it is made known to the world. Not
long since one of these dropped confidential
note to friend requesting three bottles be
sent for his personal use Immediately, as
without it his hands were simply no hands
at all, but" continued he .'for Heavens
sake don't say said So" This is literally
true.

The Natural Gas Ordinance.

To tire Editor of the Indianapolis Journals
You correspondent, Mr.. John B. Conner,
seems to think il would make no difference to
to any company whether the rate on pipe laiG
was cents or SO a foot; any company having
to pay the license fee would, in the end, make
the consumers pay all the expenses of that kind.
OF course the consumers would have to pay it,
and as there is philanthropy about this
business. they are the ones who ought to pay it.
for they receive all tho benefit il there is any.
from the use of naturalgas. His conclusion,
however. that company could charge just
what it pleased to make up for the license fee.
would be sound if consumers were compelled to
use natural-gas. but as almost every body knows,
if other kinds of fuel are cheaper, the consum-
ers would naturally use them in preference to
gas.
Now. Mr.. Editor, think we have already had
too much Information about what the profits
would oe TO company piping gas here under
the present ordinance. The mathematicians of
the News, especially, we'll others, have
beer figuring during all the spring, summer and
autumn months. and have proven to our salts
faction what immense profits could be made
under the present scale of prices fixed in the
ordinance. But somehow or other, those en-
ticing figures representing net profits on invest
ment. have not reached the eyes of any
'bioatad" capitalists who were anxious to make
70. 30 or even 20 per cent on their investments
Indeed, think we have suffered from excess
OF information on the subject of profits in bring
ing gas to this city, and the probabilities now are
we will have to do without it unless more rea
sonable terms are made. And while the making
of an ordinance limiting the prices to be charged
may be harmless amusement to those engaged
in enacting it, still they ought to make the rates
high enough to induce some company to accept
the terms. To bring about this happy condition
of affairs, 1t is hoped the City Council will soon
pass an ordinance which for all practical pur-
poses. is unlimited but TO to it that the city
gets pay for the of its streets. That is all a
city father is required to do under the c;rcum
stances, and when he has done that it seems to
me, he rruthfully say he has faithfully
guarded the interests of the city.

Speaking of the carp and the work of the Fish
Com Captain Moore said: The carp is
a hardy fish and very palatable It was first
discovered in Asia Minor and Persia but now is
found in all parts of the world. A gentleman
from Alabama told me that they were a boon to
the poor people of the South who buy them
cheaply. and eat them with a relish. The habits
of the fish very simple, its food being largely
vegetable. People sometimes erumble about
the cost of fish culture. When I meet a man
